I cannot overstate just how good Wentworth really is! It will hook you from the first episode and keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire series. Like everyone else on here that has compare it to Orange is the New Black (which I liked) I have to agree that this is the far better show! It's a lot like Game of Thrones where no character is safe no matter who they are. Some of biggest characters on the show will die or leave but the quality stays the same season after season!
